HOWSE (5) returned from a lay-off a month ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth over 6f at Barcaldine. Finds a tougher race but he can bounce back. READY LIGHTLY (6) is a seven-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent appearance over 7f at Rockhampton. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. HENNY PENNY (8) finished second last time over 5f at this track, beaten a nose. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. REGAL JUDGEMENT (7) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at Mt Isa, beaten 3 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
